I have a band and hopefully we will do gigs soon, so I need new amp. Altought I have some questions for you, becouse this will be my first gig ever so I don't know how much power do I need , for let's say small rock club ?

And also what amp would you suggest me ? What do you think about marshall ma50h ? Is he worth checking out ( becouse I have 1 hour drive to music shop ) ?

My budget is 1500-1700$, I am looking for head+box tube amp. So consider that it will be amp for gigs, not house playing, and suggest me what to buy.

We play mostly music from local pop bands , so It won't mean too much for you, but some of popular songs that we cover are : dance with somebody ( mando diao), simply the best ( tina turner ), it's my life (bon jovi ), have you ever seen the rain (CCR ).

Music that I personally lisent are bands like Sabbath, Deep purple, Led zeppelin, Iron maiden , Whitensnake, ZZ top ... idk, basicly everything from rock and old school metal.

Trust me, it'll be plenty loud to gig with. If you put an AC30 on full volume, you'd break windows, drown out every single other noise in the room, break your ears, and get the cops turn up cause they heard it from the police station

I'm just not sure how the AC30 would do with old school metal. What's your guitar?

How about a Traynor YCV50B? I know it's a combo, but you don't need a head & cab to play gigs. Could look at their tube heads, but I know the YVC50B is purposely geared towards rock type dirt. Should be able to do Maiden with a clean boost!

that being said, with $1700 you should have enough for a pretty decent head and cab setup too (especially considering thomann sells the harley benton g212vintage 2x12 cab, with two vintage 30 speakers, for like £150).
